Entry 3

THIS SCRAPPIN' ARTIST USED:

-Cover chipboard letters with newspaper, candy wrappers or something original.
I covered chipboard letters with paint but I don't think that's very original so I also did:

- Cut designs from patterned paper to use as page accents.

-Stitch around your page to create a simple textured border.

- Doodle simple images on a small strip of paper to create custom patterned paper.
